Research direction
Start by reproducing the kafka_franz configuration with localhost:6666 unavailable and observing the ready endpoint and subsequent SIGTERM. Trace the readiness entry point and Kafka connection handling; done means readiness no longer reports OK when the configured broker cannot be reached, with a regression test for this scenario.
